SAT - FG PK5, HOL (Cash Call) & Haw PK6

[Bogey]

POST SCRATCHES

Calder Race Course

R8 - Alw 22.4k N1X

#6 Rocketing Returns - Interesting to see how the Zito runner handles a field that he should make short work of. Expecting him to be odds on with Derby hopes in his sophomore campaign. WON at even money $4.20

Fair Grounds

R3 - La Breds MSW 44k

R5 - Letellier Memorial 60k - Start of the All Stakes PK5

#3 She's Extreme - Has improved with each start.
#1 Leigh McLovin - Broke maiden here on 11/16 from wide post. WON
#5 A Day for Dancing - Finished 2nd versus similar and she'll uncork a late rally. 2nd

R6 - Bonapaw 60k

#3 The Great Caruso - Returns to the lawn after having some success on it during the summer at Woodbine.
#7 Storm Treasure - 3rd in last two which includes the BC Turf Sprint and a G3 at Woodbine. WON

#4 She's Indy Money - G3 winner was last seen 15 months ago, but is training lights out since early Nov. 4th

#9 Silky Smooth - Makes 1st start for Howard barn after keeping nice company in Cali. SCR

R8 - Woodchopper 60k

#4 Naturalyontherocks - Auspicious debut north of the border and attracts top jock for 2nd start.
#1 Evade - Consistent sort seems able to run on any surface. 2nd
#8 Macho Again - Back class for sure, but bizarre way to prep for the Sunshine Millions Classic.

R9 - Sugar Bowl 60k

#10 Map of the World (BEST BET)- The race seems to set up well for his late kick with all the speed lined up. $500K Gone West colt is in great hands with juvenile wizard Stall (26%).

Hollywood Park

#7 I Want Revenge - Graduated for Mullins on the front end at odds on earlier in the meet at same distance. 2nd
#10 Bittel Road - Seems like Pletcher wants to find out if he can handle the synthetic surface and a G1 $750k purse always helps the decision. 4th

PB, next time send me a PM when you're in town. I hope you are able to get out of dodge because the next few days will feel like the north pole. Good Luck today.

Best of luck to you today Gus! I'm all over the m/l of 8-1 on Map of the World. What can we anticipate come post time?

I'd rather him have an extra panel or two, but think he can get there first @ 6. Will unload on him if the price is right.





GO RAVENS!

Enjoy your picks also, I know you didn't put her in your selections but Edamine for Pierce could be interesting. She's abit of an unknown but shippers from Wdb have done well at FG in recent yrs.

Mike, with Robby off (riding #7 Big Push) I expect every bit of the 8-1 ML. It seems like Map of the World will make or break my day. Good Luck today.

Thanks CSC,

Edamame looks to be the quickest out of the gate, I just don't feel she'll hold on with fractions of 22 and 45 with this group. I'm a huge fan of Malcom Pierce and this is his only runner I'm not using in the PK5 sequence. Good Luck today.

The name fits on Tensas Flatt - Flat effort at 3/2 - barely 3rd

Rocketing Returns holds on at even money and we might see him next in the G3 Holy Bull on 1/31/09 at Gulfstream.
